Abstract

The alarming rise in uncollected waste volume in Jakarta, Indonesia necessitates an innovative, community-centered approach to waste reduction. This report details the socialization and training program initiated in the Cilandak region, South Jakarta, focusing on waste prevention at the source through a partnership with the startup company Alner. The program encourages the use of reusable packaging for everyday products and promotes composting organic waste. Lectures and practical demonstrations were employed to educate residents about the waste management hierarchy of reduction, reuse, and recycling. Over 50 participants adopted reusable Alner-packaged products, and several engaged in on-site composting. The initiative was successful in fostering a better understanding of proactive waste management strategies and the financial benefits of a circular economy. Given the positive feedback, the program may be considered for replication across other Jakarta regions to amplify its impact on waste reduction.

Abstract

Plastic pollution is a critical global issue, with single-use plastic packaging contributing significantly to environmental degradation. This study examines the impact of Alner’s reusable packaging system in reducing household plastic waste and promoting sustainable consumption behaviors in Greater Jakarta. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through a survey of 99 respondents and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with seven homemakers. Findings revealed that Alner’s system reduced household plastic waste by 138 units of single-use packaging per month and provided users with a 15% reduction in grocery expenses. Behavioral drivers, such as peer influence, convenience, and cost savings, played a pivotal role in encouraging the adoption of reusable systems, while deeper psychological motivations reinforced users’ commitment to sustainability. The study also identified opportunities for Alner to scale its impact by expanding product offerings, enhancing logistics, and leveraging community engagement. These findings underscore the potential of reusable packaging systems to address plastic pollution, foster economic and environmental benefits, and inspire a global shift toward circular consumption practices
